Before you upgrade the server from V8.1.27 to V8.2, you must review the relevant planning
information, such as system requirements and release notes. Then, select an appropriate day and time
to upgrade the system so that you can minimize the impact on production operations.
Before you begin
Note:
Before you upgrade to IBM
Storage Protect Server version
8.2, upgrade your deployment to IBM
Storage Protect
8.1.27.
About this task
In lab tests, the process of upgrading the server from V8.1 to V8.2 took 14 - 45 minutes.
The results that you achieve might differ, depending on your hardware and software environment, and
the size of the server database.
Procedure
- Review the hardware and software requirements:
-
For special
instructions or specific information for your operating system, review the Release notes for Version 8.1
server components and IBM
Storage Protect server
Version 8.1 fix pack readme files.
- Review the security updates planning information in What you should know about security before you install or upgrade the server.
- Select an appropriate day and time to upgrade your system to minimize the impact on
production operations. The amount of time that is required to update the system depends on the
database size and many other factors. When you start the upgrade process, clients cannot connect to
the server until the new software is installed and any required licenses are registered
again.
-
If you are upgrading the server from V8.1 to V8.2, verify that you have the system ID and
password for the IBM
Db2 instance of the
IBM
Storage Protect server. These credentials are required to
upgrade the system.
